    You can get either steel or plastic washers that would give you additional support against the insulation. They are about an inch wide or put some 2*1 against the insulation and screw through the lot.

    Ghost bidders - practical advice?

    You make it sound like he has nothing to gain in the deal. At the end of the day the buyer has to work with the EA, since this is the person who is selling the house. The buyer has no interactions with the vendor, so its irrelevant what the EA wants for his vendor from the OP opinion. The EA...

    Ghost bidders - practical advice?

    These GB have been around along time and have made so many EAs very fat indeed. The EA is only looking for the highest price, so he can make the biggest margin possible. I would for the crack say you up the latest offer by 500 and leave it an hour. Ring back and withdraw the offer and say give...

    Passive House Vents

    Hi, I am going to fit some vents to my house and I am looking at the Passivent 99H and the Freshvent 100. I am leaning towards the passivent because it has a stat for humidy rather than the freshvent which is regulated by the outside tempature. I can get the passivent for around 60 euro and...

    rainwater systems

    interesting thread for me as I was going down the route of a 2500 gallon concrete tank with the pump, uv filters etc I felt anything smaller was a bit of a waste. I was not going with a plastic tank. I felt they were not as good as a concrete tank. The complete price would be around 5k and was...

    Renegotiate price after engineer's report

    I am not on about bidding, I am on about keeping your options open and not been sucked in by anyone. There is no love affair here, why would a buyer give 2 flying f about a vender. If they though so much about the house why are they selling it. The op has given some real comments above, but this...

    Renegotiate price after engineer's report

Go into EA looking at another house and fill EA with as much detail as he would fill you! say something along the lines of " I am looking at another house in Tommy Joe's area and I prefer it, pity about that other house I...

    Can I bypass the auctioneer and offer direct to vendor?

    Maybe don't engage a EA at all as a completly new option and sell the house yourself saving the commission and the chance of getting a incompetent one - if there are any competent ones out there after the bang :D Some info on net would give people pointers although american but would set a...

    Can I bypass the auctioneer and offer direct to vendor?

    If the house is for sale, more than likely people are snooping as you say with the EA. I would be happier someone snoop with me (the seller) than the EA. But again back to op question, the seller has a choice "game on" or "go to EA", so go for it op. The house is only worth what someone is...

    Can I bypass the auctioneer and offer direct to vendor?

    Firstly you guys are looking from the point of view of the Seller. The potential buyer has no contract with the seller's EA so why would he give a fiddlers, who he speaks to or goes through to purchase a house. I am not on about screwing anybody. That was someone else that said that. It’s a...
